2011 NBA Mock Draft Has Kemba Walker Fitting in Toronto Kemba Walker had an incredible run in the Big East and NCAA Tournaments and catapulted his draft stock into the lottery. He has several teams interested in grabbing him early in the 2011 NBA Draft and the Toronto Raptors would be quite happy to get him. Toronto has the fifth selection in the draft and Walker should be available, as most scouts and GMs have confirmed he is the 3rd best point guard prospect after Kyrie Irving and Brandon Knight. Kemba has the ability to both score and make plays for others at an equal rate, and could be a great fit with the Raptors, who need to develop a guard to help out Jose Calderon and possibly replace Leandro Barbosa. Walker brings a skill set that is NBA ready, and Toronto could certainly use that instead of another long-term prospect. They also could use more North American talent on a team that is full of players from other continents, each with a varying type of play style that they picked up in EuroLeagues or wherever else they came from. If Walker slips past the Raptors, other teams that might be interested are the Sacramento Kings and Utah Jazz, in the case that they decide to skip over Brandon Knight. Walker certainly won’t fall out of the lottery on draft night however, so look for his name to be called in the top ten. No. 1 Cleveland Cavaliers: Kyrie Irving
